United States v. Darrell West

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

Darrell West, federal prisoner # 11914-035, appeals the district court’s denial of his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion to reduce his sentence based on the amendments to the crack cocaine Guideline. West argues that, in light of United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), the district court was authorized to reduce his sentence based on the new advisory guidelines range and consideration of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors. He also contends that his career offender status did not preclude the court from reducing his sentence. These issues are foreclosed. See Dillon v. United States, — U.S. -, 130 S.Ct. 2683, 2692, 177 L.Ed.2d 271 (2010); United States v. Anderson, 591 F.3d 789, 790-91 (5th Cir. 2009), and United States v. Doublin, 572 F.3d 235, 236-39 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, - U.S. -, 130 S.Ct. 517, 175 L.Ed.2d 366 (2009).

The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
